Another application of auto-zeroing comparators is in the main control loop of a PWM system. The comparator in this application looks at the difference between a ...

A comparator is a great circuit because it provides a near ideal transition between the analog and digital domains. The comparator looks at two linear input signals and gives a digital output that’s ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A colleague asked for the measured jitter number on a single-supply comparator design based on the LM359 IC. 1 He ...

Low-power high-speed CMOS comparators and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) play a pivotal role in modern electronics, from data-intensive computing systems to precision biomedical instrumentation.

Q. Why buy an expensive comparator when an op amp is just as good? A. Because it isn't. My advice to anyone tempted to use an operational amplifier (op amp) as a comparator is the same as Mr. Punch's ...

Comparators are subject to input offset errors that can be either systematic or layout related. Two applications of comparators in a PWM controller are detecting when there is no current in the ...
